Q

The thoracolumbar fascia has this combined connection with what two muscles in the anterolateral abdominal wall? Those two muscles will surround the quadratus lumborum with its anterior layer and middle layer. So there is a connection with these two muscles to lumbar stability. When it contracts it will pull on the thoracolumbar fascia and that is going to effect spinal stability.

43
Q

The inguinal ligament is part of the (internal/external) oblique aponeurosis. It is a thickening of the most inferior portion of the (internal/external) oblique to create that inguinal ligament.

44
Q

51
Q

The (superficial/deep) ring of the inguinal canal is a defect (there is a hole and it is not perfectly covered like it is supposed to be) of the external oblique aponeurosis and it’s an actual ring.

superficial

52
Q

The (superficial/deep) inguinal ring is a depression more than a hole.

A

deep

53
Q

The superficial inguinal ring and deep inguinal ring (do not overlap/ overlap) and that’s important because if they overlap and you increase your abdominal pressure, a lot of stuff would come right out of the hole, so this is a way of keeping stuff in the pelvic cavity versus letting it shoot outside.

A

do not overlap

54
Q

As we contract our (internal/external) oblique muscle, we are compressing the superficial ring against the posterior abdominal wall.

A

external

55
Q

The idea of the ___ canal is to get certain things out of the pelvic cavity to the external environment, but not allow things that aren’t supposed to come out slide out.

direct

61
Q

The (direct/indirect) inguinal hernia is the more common hernia and the hernia they used to perform in sports physicals.

A

indirect

62
Q

A (direct/indirect) inguinal hernia is where there is a weakness in the abdominal wall muscles and it pushes through them and exits through the superficial inguinal ring in the process.

A

direct

63
Q

An (direct/indirect) inguinal hernia can be formed if pressure builds up in the abdomen and if there is any opening in the deep inguinal ring it is going to get pushed into the canal and as the pressure keeps building up it can work its’ way down the canal.

A

indirect

64
Q

A (direct/indirect) inguinal hernia means you tore something in the abdomen wall or you had a defect there that no one knew about and the increased intrabdominal pressure pushed it out.

A

direct

A

inguinal

66
Q

In athletic pubalgia there are many tendons and ligaments coming together and they are all pulling on each other, and when there’s weakness in one it is going to lead to (increased/decreased) tension on the other and that is when patients end up with athletic pubalgia.

77
Q

The greater ___ is part of the (parietal/ visceral) peritoneum that makes up the surrounding lining or internal surface of the abdominal pelvic wall.

A

visceral

80
Q

The (parietal/visceral) peritoneum lines the internal abdominal pelvic wall and the (parietal/visceral) peritoneum lines the actual viscera themselves, so it is two layers.
